Amidst the towering peaks and tranquil valleys, travelers often find themselves reconnecting with nature and gaining a sense of clarity and purpose.

Travelers can witness the mesmerizing prayer ceremonies of Tibetan Buddhism, experience the ancient art of Thangka painting, and participate in traditional dances like the Cham and Losar. They can also learn about the indigenous cultures of the region, such as the Sherpas and the Gaddis in Himachal Pradesh, and explore homestays to experience authentic mountain hospitality to gain a new perspective on life in the Himalayas.

The organization of the agency was very well structured. The choice of hotels, the stops, our drivers of incredible kindness and caution. This trip was exotic, the guides very well selected. We loved Cochin, Madurai, Bandipur, Munnar, Marrari etc. If all the tours are organized in the same way, it makes us want to travel again via Travel XS.
